Restaurants Vary Yidely On Coffee Price Situation ' . By STEVEN. V. DAVID , NEW YORK (AV-Fellow out in Kansas says he makes money in his restaurant selling coffee at a nickel a cup. Restaurateurs in big cities are pushing prices up to lt cents a cup. How come? The answer seems to lie in how many cups you get out of a pound, what kind of profit margin you want-, and your overhead costs. Restaurant men started talking about 15-cent coffee when the retail price reached tl a pound. Because of a short crop in Brazil, further. hikes In ground coffee ire expected. But Paul Park ot Liberal, Kan., says he's going to stand firm at a nickel a cup because he's mak ing 9u a week on coffee in his restaurant at that price. Another Kansan, Jim Lofland, has cut the price to 4 cents. He ay that's bis break-even-point and that coffee "Is Just an accom modation for our customers any way.'!: . ' But things are different in New York. "We get 48 cups lrom a pound nf coffee and estimate it costs us 8 ',2 cents to put a cup of coffee In front ot a customer," said a spokesman for the Chllds Co., large Eastern restaurant chain. "We've been charging a dime for years and still do. But look what's hap pened to basic costs In that time I "Coffee was selling for 29 cents a pound when we went to a dime a cup. Now it's 89 cents. Walt rum am making 10 times as much now. The cost of cream' hasJ tripled and sugar la twice wnat 11 was. A cup that used to cost 8 cents now costs 38 cents." At the swank Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, where one man does nothiii but look after coffee brewing, youll pay IS cents for -a cup In the coffee house. The Waldorf said lt doesn't have- the exajt cost per cup bu that It els only 34 six ounce cups from a pound. One large factor In the food field has Its own formula for making coffee in restaurants. "We recommend 2Vi gallons of water to a pound of coffee," a spokesman for the firm said. "Al lowing for water absorbed by the grounds, that's the equivalent of 41 se'ven-ounce cups or 67 five ounce cups. "We figure that with cream and sugar, labor and breakage, it should cost a restaurant about 3 cents a cup. So at a dime, It's making a good American profit." Restaurants, as indicated . by Chllds' comment, disagree. A leading roaster said It fears restaurants will start diluting Some of them get "0 cups to 'We'd rather see hem serve a smaller cup than dilute it. The last impression a customer gets in a restaurant is made by the coffee he has." The American housewife may comolaln about the cost of coffee, but a spot check failed to find many who knew how many cups they get to a pound. - Mrs. Mike Mock Sr. of New York estimates that a pound yields 38 . cups of coffee "and that's strong coffee." Roasters say an average of 40 cups Is about right. Will she go on drinking coffee If miees eo un "We'll probably drink less If it gets more - expensive, she said. "We'd rather cut it out than make lt weaker, The outlook for substitutes for coffee appears to- be good. - The tea Industry Is beamingly optimis tic. And General Foods reported today that orders for Fostum have av pound now," this source said. I picked up sharply!
